That just shows how shallow a lot of people have become, and maybe it's why movies stink now- they're being geared toward this type of audience.

The funny thing is until I started coming on SW forums, I would have thought you were lying, but I have to agree with you on alot of new SW fans. It is the SW fans that are taking their shots at the original, and back when I was growing up it was people who hated everything about SW that took their shots.
I just don't understand how you can classify yourself as a SW fan, and not be a fan of the Original Star Wars! Isn't that the ultimate irony that the only movie really named Star Wars, the newer fans think is probably the worst in the series? I guess it really has to do with the movie being too slow, not enough 'cool' CG like the PT movies, Kenobi/Vader not doing flips in the lightsaber battle, and the need for 2 hours of constant action.
It is real sad cause I agree with you about newer movies in this genre, with the exception of a couple of good ones in the last few years, they are overloaded with action & CGI, and the characters, story, and drama take a backseat.
Oh well, it is just a different generation, I guess it is another reason I want the O-OT on DVD, so I don't even have to think about what new crap Lucas has changed to make those fans who hate his masterpiece happy.
